The only times I've ever heard school and shooting together in Mexico is because some cartel members have gotten into it while driving by a school.Emily Bonderer Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536825702643241250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459207290594790398.post-31941327063844141562014-05-10T08:14:14.368-07:002014-05-10T08:14:14.368-07:00Absolutely.

Even as things calm down, they still play up the violence like it's 2010 all over again.Emily Bonderer Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536825702643241250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459207290594790398.post-37330323151080846842014-03-31T08:50:07.624-07:002014-03-31T08:50:07.624-07:00I believe its what you make of it.

One of my favorite "be careful" stories is that I had a friend visit here from italy and his family was worried sick about the crime he would encounter because of something they saw on the news that had just happened in Florida. To them it was all "Stati Uniti" and the 3000 miles were irrelevant.

I feel safer walking in Downtown Tijuana than I do in Downtown Portland most of the time. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09608827007853458713noreply@blogger.com
